What people say about Tim Radley & RetailMeaning

"Every time he speaks you learn something!" Louise L.

“It is effectively like having a consultant review your retail business with you, asking all the (often challenging) questions to check whether the business, or you as an individual, are in the best state to succeed. Rather than being just theoretical, the action pages give practical advice/checklists and actions, including some surprising ones like ‘Plan for the end for your business’.”

Pete – Founder & CEO UPskill Ltd. UK

“Tim Radley is such a giving individual filled with so much knowledge within Retail. Every time he speaks you learn something. ”

Louise – Retail expert, trainer & mentor. Ireland

“A life time of experience packaged in a clear, simple and methodical way. Many publications about this subject tend to be whimsical speculation, but founded on front-line experience this book collates relevant/current case studies and pairs them with simple action plans and guidelines. ”

Jolyon – Brand Strategy Director & Founder of BlendUs. UK. 2022

“In a conversation I was blown away with Tim’s passion about retail and his wealth of knowledge and understanding of the mindset of new entrants into retailing. The time given to myself has been priceless in terms of were I go from here with so many great suggestions and advice. I have no doubt that we will be building a great relationship together as our retail business grows, thank you so much Tim Radley for your time and kindness in our conversation ”

John – Managing Director Euro Paint Distributors. 2023

“Tim Radley can add “skilled reader of rooms” to his list of accolades. While his presentation was focused on global trends and the unpicking of these to suit a specialist sector like ours, he deftly turned these predictions and forecasts around, and on their heads, to acknowledge that the answers were in the room with us all along. ”
